Egil Sega

“She has been ill for a long time,
she has the exhaustion,
cannot sleep any night and was
as if she had lost reason and shape.”

Runes have been scratched therefore, it is a farmer’s son,
not far from here, he has done that,
but afterwards it was
much worse than before.

Egil scratched runes and placed them under the cushion of the bed
she rested on.
It was to her as if she had awoken from sleep,
and she said she was well now.

Chorus:
No man shall scratch runes
Not being able to use them well;
Many a man is misled
by dark forces.
Ten secret runes have I seen
Scratched on smoothed out fish bone;
For the girl this has caused
sorrow for a long time.

I really appreciate this! It's so helpful Although, it took me a little extra time to catch the pronunciation because the edhs were replaced with ds and the thorns were replaced with ps. Got it though!
But a note for people who are having some difficulty reading it:
Some of the Ds sound like th as in 'this' 'that' or 'other'
and some of the Ps sound like th as in 'thing' 'thorn' or 'think'
Again, many thanks! And to those who read that, I hope I helped a little

I can also say the translation above is adequate from what I've learned. You at least get the "jist" of what is being told in the story, but a couple of lines could be translated differently. For example, "ok þat var kröm mikil" is more like "and it is a strong sickness", as in one that will soon bring death. And "es of myrkvan staf villisk" isn't necessarily "of dark forces" but "of spells with hidden powers". Nonetheless, it's a great translation of one of many beautiful inspirations by Faun.
